"We seem to be in pretty good condition now?" Looking at the Japanese destroyer who was leaving, Radell wiped a cold sweat and said. After looking at the outsider, after the previous operation, the situation seemed to have not changed. There were indeed several battleships in the Japanese fleet that were injured, but similarly, the four Bavarian-class battleships of the German fleet were also covered in scars. It seemed that the basic card had not changed, and sinking 6 destroyers in this battle could not be said to be injured for the Japanese fleet. But in fact, this is not the case!

The Japanese brought 42 destroyers in total. In addition to the 8 destroyers left for others in the mountain house, there are 34. In addition, the destroyers that had sunk before, there are less than 20 left! And don’t forget that some of these less than 20 destroyers were thrown away all torpedoes! Well, now the problem is that once the destroyer throws away all torpedoes, the significance of this destroyer in the decisive battle of the large fleet will be reduced by more than half! After all, the main battleship is afraid of torpedoes. Otherwise, unless you can directly hit it, what damage can the remaining 120MM artillery on the warship cause to those main battleships weighing more than 20,000 tons?

So, the current situation is that the Japanese destroyers' combat effectiveness has been greatly overdrawn, and they have already lost a lot before they can do their jobs. You must know that the Japanese fleet's goal is to deal with the American transport fleet in the core area. Moreover, these destroyers also need to use torpedoes to intercept the US Navy's encirclement and block the US Navy when necessary to tear a gap to allow the main fleet to escape and ascend to heaven! As a result, just fighting with the Germans alone has lost more than a dozen destroyers, which is obviously a loss, okay?

Of course, you would say that the Germans also lost a large number of destroyers, and at least now they have sank 5 destroyers, including large destroyers, but the accounts are not calculated like this! To be honest, if the Americans are sincere, the German high seas fleet that received the news can pull out a dozen large destroyers without hesitation to make up for the losses on the battlefield. Can the Japanese? When did the Japanese have the ability to fight with the German high seas fleet? At the level of light warships, it is meaningless for the Japanese to discuss exchange ratios with the United States and Germany, because this is basically a loss! People make faster than you do!

Although taking advantage of this period, Su Xiong's fleet temporarily forced the Japanese main fleet to retreat and damaged the Japanese destroyer team again. The losses of the three Bavarian-class battleships were also within the range of bear. Without the restraint of the Japanese destroyers, Su Xiong could completely pull the smoke and evacuate!

But unfortunately, the war ultimately tended to be a side with more people and more guns. At the beginning of the war, the Weimar, which was besieged by two Fuso-class battleships and a King Kong-class battleship due to its poor location, was already severely damaged. Subsequently, even though the Weimar severely damaged the Ibuki horn with one blow, the attacks of the remaining three Japanese battlecruisers with more than 20 14-inch guns still cost the Weimar a heavy price!

The main turrets No. 2 and No. 3, which were constantly hit, could not bear the blow anymore. The turret No. 2 was completely stuck, the internal servo equipment was damaged, and the two barrels of the turret No. 3 were interrupted! Up to now, there are only three main guns left in Weimar.

"Captain, the tail of the hull is seriously damaged. The back of the hull is about 1,500 tons, and the stern of the hull is tilted left by 12 degrees. And the inlet is still increasing!"

"The mechanical servo has temporarily failed and we are operating it with manpower. It is expected to be repaired in half an hour."

"The number of armor-piercing shells in the No. 1 turret is insufficient, and the gunman recommends using semi-piercing shells instead."

Bad news was summed up in front of Captain Von Muller. Looking at the fleets of both sides still fighting fire in the distance, the twisted steel plates on the warships and the fires distributed throughout the ship, the Brigadier General fell into deep thought.

"It seems that we have very bad luck today." Brigadier General Mueller said to his colleagues with a wry smile. "I am proud and proud of us working with you on this great warship. Although, my lack of ability has defiled the glory of this warship. Perhaps my next order will cause most of us to die on the battlefield, but for victory, for the dignity of the empire and the glory of the high seas fleet, I hope that you can support my decision."

A moment later, Radell received a telegram from the battleship Weimar.

"Captain Von Muller sent a signal. The situation on the Weimar was a bit bad. They had already sent a signal and decided to withdraw from the battle and then move north." Raidel said to Su Xiong.

"Yes, it's very serious." Looking at the Japanese fleet that was still shooting in the distance, Raidel nodded and said, "Even if the attention of the Fuso-class is attracted by us, the firepower of the Japanese Second Battleship Fleet is still focused on the Weimar. Up to now, this battleship has at least more than 12 14-inch shells and 15-inch shells. And unfortunately, 6 of them are concentrated at the tail, and a large amount of water inflow occurred in the hull, and the situation is very bad."

"Brother General Feng Muller is looking for death!" Su Xiong said gritting his teeth.

"Genius, the Weimar battleship began to turn! They began to evacuate north! The Japanese fleet was also turning!" At this moment, Nimitz next to him held up a telescope and said loudly that the position of the Weimar was very easy to identify. The flames in part of the hull of the Weimar, which was hit by too many large-caliber shells, had been out of control. The Japanese navy, who was taught by the British Navy, also liked to fill with picric acid explosives when using armor-piercing shells, which made their shells very arsonable! And under the fire-raising fire of three Japanese battlecruisers, Weimar would definitely not be able to extinguish all fire points!

"Why doesn't Weimar release smoke?" Nimitz said with some confusion.

With a clang, Raidel forced himself to break the pen in his hand. At this time, Raidel tried hard to approach the observation window in the command tower, and then tried his best to look at the Weimar, which was turning in the distance. Before, the agile and powerful figure had become staggering. He tried to hide in the night with all the flames and smoke on his body, but the flames on his body pointed out his direction like a lighthouse. Behind it, three Japanese King Kong-class battleships chased the scarred lion like a pack of wolves smelling blood!

"Su Xiong, think of a solution!" Raidel roared. "We can't just leave like this. Mueller has no right to give up such a warship! I will not accept his decision! We should reject his order! We have the highest right to decide!"
